MOSCOW, Aug 20 (Reuters) – Russia’s first moon mission in 47 years failed when its Luna-25 space craft spun out of control and crashed into the moon after a problem preparing for pre-landing orbit, underscoring the post-Soviet decline of a once mighty space programme.
Russia’s state space corporation, Roskosmos, said it had lost contact with the craft at 11:57 GMT on Saturday after a problem as the craft was shunted into pre-landing orbit. A soft landing had been planned for Monday. more

Hoo boy! Ruskies still using those kerosene powered komputers….
At least they are trying.
More than you can say for NASA.
I’m supposed to start believing the moon is real? What’s next, Mars?
That’s gonna leave a mark.

To all of us Moon Landing hoaxers, this is no surprise. Space travel is HARD. I admit, I was hoping the Russian probe would finally let us SEE the true Moon surface. Finally let us SEE a true Earth-rise from the Lunar surface. Every pic out here so far is fake.
Main point is that to get Men on the Moon is 1000x more difficult than a simple one-way probe. And yet look how really truly difficult the probe becomes.
LasVegasBrad, are you seriously a moon-landing hoaxer?
Or are you just trolling us?
Don’t get my hopes up, I wanted some hoaxers on the last thread on the same subject…
Launched after the Indian moon lander but set to reach the moon first, I said this would happen, making a soft bed of debris for the Indian probe to land on. 😆
I want to see the dash cam footage.
